LARP craft - floral crowns

So I've been doing a different bit of hobby today, LARP stuff.  For those that don't know I play in a LARP called Empire.  I play in a nation called Dawn as an Earl.  One thing Dawn is know for, other than our collective obsession with glory, is flowers.  Every noble house in Dawn has it's own flower code, which can lead to some hilarity, and Dawnish folk will often wear flowers, often on their head.  Hence why I've been making floral crowns.  I'm also having a medieval themed wedding later in the year, and a few people have expressed an interest in floral headwear.






This one ended up being too small for an adult, but could fit a child nicely.

This one is for my Mum.  She wanted green and yellow.
This one is for a friend of mine.

And this one is my battle crown.  I plan to wear it over a maille coif.  I'll post pictures of my full battle kit in the future.  I went for a less leafy vine wrap for my battle crown because I didn't want it flapping about over my eyes.  Colour choice was dictated by my house colours, dark blue and white, which in House de Loup's flower language mean loyalty and death respectively.
